Peter Link - Cardinal in the Snow Lyrics

Cardinal In The Snow
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

There's nothing quite like
A cardinal in the snow
All that white
And God's splash of red
As if He had said
Here is my thought for the day.
A cardinal in the snow
Oh a cardinal in the snow
A cardinal in the snow

Bird in my window
More magnificent than the mountains
More beautiful than the valleys
And the rivers
And the wonders of this world
Bird in my window
Only for a second or two
But burned into the scrapbook of my being

Oh dear God
Thanks for making it so
He's even more beautiful than Marilyn Monroe
This cardinal in the snow
Even more so than the willow tree
Even more so than Van Gogh
This cardinal in the snow

A cardinal in the snow
Oh a cardinal in the snow
A cardinal in the snow

Bird in my window
More delicate than the snowflakes
A graceful ballerina
Standing mighty
A King among his peers
Bird in my window
Guardian of his family name
He's burned into the mem'ry of my mind

A cardinal in the snow
A cardinal in the snow
